HR 562 chopped-strand glass fiber

Developed specifically for use with polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), HR 562 chopped-strand glass fiber is the latest addition to the PerforMax family of hydrolysis-resistant high-performance thermoplastic reinforcements. HR 562 chopped strand is tailored to resist exposure to high temperatures. It offers the highest hydrolysis resistance of any glass-fiber reinforcements used in conjunction with PPS, thereby reducing the risk of polymer breakdown by fluids and chemicals in high-temperature environments. It provides up to 15% improvement in retained mechanical strength compared to other hydrolysis-resistant chopped-strand reinforcements. PerforMax chopped-strand reinforcements result in significantly lower outgassing than competitive products, thus delivering cleaner mold surfaces, less downtime and improved final-part aesthetics.
